Great article with lots of resources all on personal learning networks. I am in 100% agreement with this. I think all teachers should be involved and always learning. Isn't that what we ask of our students?

Jim Farmer on 11 Oct 10

Between the NBC "Education Nation" Summit, Waiting for Superman, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's $100 million gift to Newark city schools, there has been a lot of media attention focused on the topic of education reform. Unfortunately, much of it has excluded actual educators, let alone students. Furthermore, and perhaps as a consequence, the dialog has become divisive, blaming, and ultimately counter-productive. Click to watch or listen to this education reform discussion.
